Main Project Plans and Inspiration

For myself, I have a lot of difficulty coming up with a single aesthetic that describes me. For clothing, I usually am dressed in athleisure on most days. For art and design, I find myself trending more towards mid-century modern and modern aesthetics.

A style of design I have been indoctrinated into via my parents is Scandinavian design. While it is very similar to mid-century modern, it has some key differences. It focuses more on light colors and natural light, while mid-century modern focuses more on darker, richer colors. Some of the other characteristics of Scandinavian design are functionality, clean lines, and natural materials. With that in mind, I am planning to create a Scandinavian-style table lamp.

I was thinking about creating a lamp already. As it gets later in the day, I have noticed that having softer, indirect light helps me to fall asleep faster. So, I thought about creating a lamp with a smart lightbulb to be able to shift the tones of light throughout the day as I want to be awake or fall asleep.

Below are some pictures I found online of lamps that I want to draw inspiration from. I want my lamp to be made out of nice wood and maybe some gold or black metal. I also want to be sure to incorporate clean lines and maybe some of the almost organic shapes that are created with the wood.
